Why the hell aren't we allowed to post coupon codes w/ their respective hot deals?

"TOO CONVENIENT"~ anand

 

[fatbaby]

because certain coupons were meant to be used in certain ways and ppl were abusing them

Yea I guess Anand is an @$$hole for providing a free forum for you to surf on you douchebag. If they kept on allowing the posting of codes, the online stores allowing those codes could threaten Anand to take the codes down, and if it ever evolved into legal action, this forum you obviously take for granted would be gone.

Besides, why should Anand risk law suits for something that isn't even related to computers? Anand should just close Hot Deals to shut all you damn whiners up.

So fatwall*t.com (lol wtf you're not allowed to type that?) and all those other websites and forums are breaking the law?

Hey, you don't have to be an asshole about it man, it was a legitimate question.

long ago, in the time before time, there was the abusive staples $90 of 90 secret possibly hacked coupons that got out of control. Staples threatened anandtech with possible legal actions. hence no more coupon codes. this was about 2 years ago actually, but yeah

Everyone has learned their lesson, they should be reinstated.

Apparently, you haven't learned anything yet. Now would be a good time to start.
